Mon, 07 Apr 2014 16:55:49 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=699948#comment-294733no, I was saying it WAS a very good game for HIM as he’s not a good 3 pt shooter or even a good shooter overall…

by the time one shoots around 37% or so, one is a good 3 pt shooter so of course shooting 45% in a game IS very good, except for one who shoots better than that like Korver.

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 14:32:04 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=699948#comment-294674I agree. Anyone with half a basketball IQ knew JR’s day was not beneficial to the team. It was all about him and hopefully he is boosting his trade value.

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 11:16:47 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=699948#comment-294641Your right….but my point was the fact that he was actually productive in this game compared to the previous 60 something games he’s played this season.

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 11:01:06 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=699948#comment-294638Best 3 point shooter in league history, sets his feet, and makes the same shot he’s practiced and made thousands of times over almost 20 years isn’t the same as a career 25% 3pt shooter hoisting one up from the parking lot.

But that being said, that you for reminding me of the greatest moment in my entire 40+ years of being a sports fan. Think I’ll start my Monday by heading over to YouTube and watching “The Big 3” a few dozen times (I dubbed it “The Big 3” but it hasn’t caught on yet.

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 03:44:57 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=699948#comment-294594Sportsfan…… you also said, “For Smith, a very good 3 pt shooting game.”

I’m not a doctor, but you just might be implying that it wouldn’t be a very good 3 pt shooting game for someone else.

One in j.r. smith isn’t a team player, and amar’e can’t stay healthy for any significant stretch to help any team let alone can he play any defense. I guarantee you Phil Jackson is about to cut weight in about 2 to 3 months.

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 03:35:10 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=699948#comment-294589It seems that every team’s best play against the Heat is the one when the shot clock is less than a second, and the guy throws up a falling out of bounds prayer that ALWAYS goes in swish. It’s incredible.

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 01:54:45 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=699948#comment-294557You are spot on about shot selection. He took some deep ones and drilled them, but on possessions when the Heat did manage to close out on the catch, he held the ball, dribbled a bit, and forced at least a few god-awful attempts in critical moments. If Smith had kept moving the ball when he was covered, it might have made a difference in this game.

Mon, 07 Apr 2014 00:29:14 +0000http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=699948#comment-294540He has been wet but when JR is hot his shot selection goes out the window. The misses he had today were atrocious. While he kept them in the game at times he also shot them out of it on important possessions. 4-17 and Lebron is covering Jr Melo is probably better off on the bench.

The positive IMO is that JR becomes much more tradable as does Amare. Tyson and his rotations on defense are AWFUL. This pretty much sealed our playoff fate.
